Booking with a Low Cost Carrier (“LCC”)

In 2006 Low Cost Carriers offered a
total of 550 million seats on nearly 4 million flights which represented 17% of
the total number of seats on offer worldwide. As you can see these figures
represent a significant share of the Air Travel Market, and their market share
is set to increase hugely in the coming years as a result of the fantastic
prices on offer.

If you have booked with any of these airlines and
you wish to amend or cancel your booking, you MUST contact the airline directly
on the featured phone numbers.

These airlines usually keep their costs low by not including extra services
like meals, entertainment, check-in baggage etc; however in many cases these
can be purchased prior to departure, at the airport or on-board your flight.

Low Cost Carriers reserve the right to charge Credit Card merchant fees
additionally to the airfare and taxes displayed. Credit Card merchant fees
applied by the airline directly will be charged additionally to your credit
card upon confirmation of your booking.

Bookings made on Low Cost Carriers in some instances do not include a check-in
baggage allowance. Check-in baggage allowances included in the fare purchased
will be listed on your booking confirmation from the airline. Please contact
the airline directly if you require to increase your check-in baggage limit.
Baggage fees may be charged by the airline or at the airport for any additional
requirements and are non-refundable once purchased.

Please note that most airlines treat name changes and route and/or itinerary
alterations as FULL CANCELLATION and can incur full cancellation charges.

All worldwide airlines charge amendment and cancellation fees. RACT Travel Pty
Ltd will not take any responsibility for any clients who do not take out fully
comprehensive insurance cover when booking to cover any eventualities.

Our Fees and Charges
We may charge a fee for making a booking on your behalf. You

on your behalf. We reserve the right to charge administrative fees for payments
made by credit card. These changes range from 2-4% dependent on what credit
card issuer is utilised.

Booking Amendment Charges, Cancellation/Amendment Fees
Once full payment has been made, we reserve the right to charge
cancellation or amendment fees to cover our administration costs. This fee is
in addition to any charged levied by the supplier. Please note that the
conditions for some services, particularly airfares, may not permit refunds. If
we are obliged to cancel your travel arrangements or booking for any reason,
our liability will be limited to a refund of all monies paid by you less any

No refunds will be made for unused services, regardless of the reason. In the
event of returning a car early, the operator may provide you with a statement
showing the amount of unused service. This figure is for domestic taxation
purposes and does not mean a refund for the amount will be made. Where refunds
